Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kaffeappen at none against Drinkkompassen's 2. Kaffeappen also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Drinkkompassen's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
